To date, Nintendo has never released a console above the price of 25,000 yen ($217) in Japan.

That's a sweet price, and it will help them sell a lot more units.

Yup, good price, but it'll end up as follows:

Japan: 25,000 yen (217$)
USA: 225$
EU: 250€ (275$)

Well, sony's products are always expensive. We musn't compare them to nintendo's. As far as I can remember, nintendo's products has always been cheaper, and they make money on selling them to boot, as compared to the current situation of the ps3/xbox 360, where both companies will lose loads of money on every console sold and made.

We'll see, I suppose. Bold statement though.

I remember the N64 being stupidly priced (in the UK at least). Somewhere around the £350 mark rings a bell. And the games too - I remember Turok being sold for £70! Madness!

A friend of mine paid $80 for Shadows of the Empire in the early days. I actually enjoyed the game at the time, though my (used) copy cost me far, far less.

Exactly, and that's the point I was trying to make. :P

Because we get screwed with VAT and Tax normally.
